Jay Leno is that guy and this time around for his ‘Jay Leno’s Garage’ series he gets the chance to drive the 2013 Shelby GT500 and give us his thoughts not only on the car but a little Mustang history.

Riding shotgun for this show is none other than SVT chief engineer Jamal Hameedi who gives Jay a rundown on what the new GT500 has to offer. Check out the video below.
